Fear can paralyze anyone in business from not calling a prospective client to get the sale, not being able to put yourself out there, or not taking action in general. If this seems all too familiar, then read on.
Fear can keep you stuck from moving forward in your business even if you are taking action. If your belief of failure is stronger then being able to succeed, then it will be hard to experience the success you want.
When you feed your fear with emotion, this is a recipe for disaster and can literally put the brakes on your business cash flow even if you are taking action.
For example, let’s say you have a call with a prospective client and it doesn’t go well. Chances are they picked up on your fear either consciously or subconsciously. In order to release your fear, you have to recognize it when it shows up, and tell yourself that it’s just a program trying to keep you stuck. Ask yourself a deeper question around what the fear is really about. Fear always relates back to a deeply rooted issue of not feeling worthy, unlovable, and needing approval. Once you have identified what the real issue is, you can begin to break the cycle of fear.
BONUS TIP: Allow yourself to let go when you feel you are trying to control things, or if you don’t take action because of the fear. Ask yourself: where will you be if you continue to keep running this program?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions I get from new coaches or any entrepreneur that is just starting out.
Here’s the short answer…
Assuming you know who your ideal client is the best way to attract coaching clients
is to speak. This can be both online and offline.
Online: reach out to your colleagues to be interviewed or on a radio show
Offline: create a list of potential places where you ideal client would be at and
contact the person in charge to give an informational talk.
Bonus Tip: Make sure you get all of the attendees information so you can follow up
With them. Ideally you want to add them to your list where you can later send invitations to speak with you, or to offer your programs/products

Did you know that many people have their brain subconsciously programmed for disappointment, struggle and failure?
Are you perhaps one of them? If you are, it’s not your fault but you do owe it to yourself to reprogram your brain and break this negative cycle once and for all.
You see, unlike any other living creature on this planet, you have the extraordinary ability to influence and reprogram your brain.
Science tells us that visualization stimulates the same brain regions as when you actually perform that action. Using your visual intelligence together with taking specific action is the most powerful way to do this.
Have you ever heard the saying ‘thoughts create’. Well they literally do. Simply put, negative thoughts lead to negative outcomes and positive thoughts lead to positive actions, behavior and the results you desire.
10 Powerful Tips to reprogram your brain!
- Using your visual intelligence is the first step to breaking the cycle of disappointment, struggle and failure. Create a clear and powerful vision of the things you really want.
- See yourself as having already achieved this.
- Engage your emotions; imagine how it feels having achieved what you truly desire.
- Replay your vision as often as you can. Especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night. This is when your brain is in the Alpha state and most receptive.
- Your vision needs to be aligned to what you really value. There is no use working towards something that has little meaning or purpose for you.
- Strong emotions program the ‘driver’ (limbic) part of your brain. Unless this part of your brain supports you, it will try and sabotage your efforts. That is until new neural pathways have been established. These pathways are created when you are passionate and excited about achieving your desires and goals.
- Reprogramming your brain will take between 30 and 60 days, so just keep doing it! Most people give up just before the moment of breakthrough. Repetition and persistence is the key.
- Don’t let negative thoughts or limiting beliefs stand in your way. You are capable of so much more than you ever imagined.
- Keep focusing on little successes along the way, notice them and celebrate them. This will encourage your brain to go out and look for more of the same.
- It all starts with a vision, your vision! In less than 10 minutes, you can create your own inspiring vision. Take your first step towards breaking the cycle of disappointment, struggle and failure. Create your vision now using this simple, yet highly effective visualization tool.
It’s easy, good fun and it’s free >>>

I know that many women coaches, consultants, healers, and entrepreneurs talk about how money can be a real issue in their business when they are first starting their business. They also may just be plain stuck trying to increase the number of clients and increase their monthly revenue goal. For women, it can be a real emotional roller coaster which can leave them feeling exhausted in their business and sometimes wanting to throw in the towel. If you are experiencing these kinds of money blocks, then you’re not alone. I know exactly how paralyzing this can be for your well-being and your business, and that’s why I am so passionate to share some tips on how you can push past your money blocks no matter what!
Step 1. Where are you at? This might not feel good at first, but you need to know exactly how much you are bringing in every month. I have spoken to many women entrepreneurs that either don’t know this number because they are afraid to look, or they want to hide and not share with me their numbers for fear they will be judged. Honestly, this kind of thinking and behavior will be the death of your business if you don’t know. First get over the initial fear of what you might be thinking, and then start tracking it. When I first started doing this, I ended up doubling what I was making the next month.
Step 2. Let go of the shame around not having money or being in debt.
Many women entrepreneurs have a lot of guilt and shame around racking up the debt even if it’s invested in programs that they need to grow their business. You are not the same person when you attracted your debt, and in order to grow your business, you have to understand that debt is part of creating success. You need to have revolving credit in order to take your business to the next level and invest in the next program or mentor that will get you to where you want to be. Focus on creating more money, and debt will no longer feel like a gremlin that is always on your back.
Step 3. Change your relationship with money so that it wants to be around you 24/7. If you feel you are always chasing money, or it’s feast or famine, then this means you have a broken relationship with money. In order to have money be around you, you need to first fall in love with yourself. Your self worth is directly related to what shows up in your bank account and the kind of clients you attract. It’s important to identify when you feel your relationship with money start going downhill because you can’t change anything that you are not aware of.
Would you like to heal your relationship with money?
Let me show you how you can go from zero to six figures in your
business when you apply for a session with me:
The quickest path to creating six figures or more is creating high-end coaching, consulting, or practitioner packages. If you are getting tired of going after low hanging fruit, then follow this five-step process to up your game and step into your success.
Step 1. Determine what you will offer. This can be an intensive day where you help your client address one issue. If you are a practitioner, maybe you take them through a healing process that gives them a specific result. The idea is to be laser-focused and create an accelerated path to give clients a result. You can also offer programs that have a longer commitment like six months to a year.
Step 2. Create an outline of what your client will receive in their high-end service. If you are doing an intensive VIP day then have a timeline of how the day will flow and what will happen with each step and hour used.
Step 3. Create an enrollment process where clients see the value of what you have to offer. It’s important how you appear in your conversations
and learn how to overcome objections, such as “I don’t have the money.”
Step 4: Pick a goal of how many clients you would love to work with per month. This goal must be doable, but also allows you to stretch.
For example:
3 Intensive clients at $997 =$2,991
2 year client at $5997= $11,994 (then figure out how much they are paying you per month)
3 -6 month clients $ 3500=$10,500
Also, think about small business contracts, as these can be much higher.
A one-day intensive can be $10,000 or even more!
Step 5: Master your mindset around the issue, “Will they pay for this, or “I hate selling.” If you don’t do this, you will not attract high-end clients. You need to go out of your comfort zone and work on changing your beliefs around selling. Come from the place that you are helping, and that you are there to get them the results they desire. In order to attract high-end clients, you must become that person already. Don’t wish for it, go out and do it!
Bonus Tip: You don’t have to take on just any client. Come from an abundant mindset and that there are plenty of clients that would love to work with you. Taking on clients that are not a good fit will cause major energy and money drains in your business.

Do you feel confident when it comes to attracting money and the right clients into your business? Do you have problems charging what you are worth, and you discount your services because you fear that if you don’t take this approach, then there will be nothing left? Do you beat yourself up with the lack of money you have in your bank account, or when something doesn’t go right?
I have found that how you feel about yourself now is how you will attract money.
When it comes down to it, it’s all about the relationship that you have with yourself, and if you really love the person that you are.This is so simple. However, many women entrepreneurs are experiencing this exact lack. If this is you, then check out my three simple steps on how you can make more money by loving the person you are right now.
Step 1. First,it’s important to write down how you currently see yourself
both in business and your personal life. If you feel bad about how you are with your business, then also look to other areas such as your relationships, and see how you view yourself there. If you are not in a relationship, then ask yourself why you are not in a relationship.
Step 2. Write down what you feel your story is around money. For example, you view money is hard and if you have to struggle. If you make a mistake then you feel like a failure. Whatever seems to be a reoccurring theme and pattern in your life, write it down. You also need to identify the people in your life that have given you this story. It might be when you were a child that one of your parents or both made you believe that you were unlovable by their words or actions. This creates self-awareness of this story so that you can start changing it.
Step 3. Next, write down everything that makes you unique and why you are lovable. This is simple, yet many women can’t find things that they appreciate about themselves,and this is a problem because they stay stuck in not feeling good enough which causes them to either not make money or go to the next levelor even taking the next step to launch their business. Your self worth isdirectly related to how much money is in your bank account, so the more you work on falling in love with yourself, the more confidence you will have to take action, and being able to stand in your full power.
Bonus Tip: Ask yourself who do I need to be in order to really love and accept myself in the moment?
If you need help on a deeper level, then I recommend you check out the Money and Miracles Breakthrough program which is designed to get to the core issues that cause your current money blocks.

If you are not making what you want in your business or taking the next step because of fear, then you need to read this right now!
I know I have had to breakthrough many levels of fear in my business in order to go to the next level. I find many women entrepreneurs are allowing their fears to keep them stuck from taking the next step. These steps will help you to identify your fear and how to break free from it so you can live abundantly.
Here are some examples of fear that many women entrepreneurs face in their business.
I believe that Spirit, God, Universe, or Creator always speaks to you in a gentle way. The problem is that ego gets in the way to keep you at a sticking point. It’s a false sense of safety, and when you can identify that the fear is actually a story that you have been creating, you can transform where you have been stuck to taking a quantum leap in your business.
Fear of the unknown
You want to take the next step, but you are so afraid because you don’t know what the outcome will be. What happens as result when you make decisions based on fear is that
you find yourself in the exact place you were before, if not worse.
Example:
You want to invest in yourself and get some mentoring, but the investment is higher than you feel comfortable with, and you don’t like the idea of going out of your comfort zone.
The solution:
You need to ask yourself: is this going to get me closer to my goals?
What will the potential investment bring back to me?
The program that you are considering is $10,000.
You sign up 5 new clients at $2,000 each (or product equivalent)
Fear of failing
You have made decisions in the past, and don’t want to make the mistake again.
Being an entrepreneur means you have to take risks if you want to be successful.
You have to be willing to make mistakes and learn from them. This is the formula
that all successful entrepreneurs have gone through.
Example:
You don’t want to call people on the phone and have a sales conversation because in the
past you tried it and it didn’t work out.
The solution:
Get some coaching on creating a compassionate sales guide.
Ask yourself what really is the fear if people say no to me?
Swift your focus on helping people and not selling and be willing to master the art
of your sales conversation
Fear will paralyze you from not taking action which of course takes you further away from
your goal.
Example:
I am not going to do invest in myself until I have the money.
This creates all sorts of problems for your subconscious. When you tell yourself this, you start to create a program that says“Ok, I will put off attracting more money into my business.” As a result, you create self-sabotage. You might find yourself not taking the right kind of action or not taking any action at all. You are right back where you have started.
The solution:
Brainstorm ways on how you can come up with the money with a set date in mind
List the reasons why investing in yourself will help you to breakthrough the ________
issue that you are having.
If you truly want to create a breakthrough in your business, then you have to get out of your own way and let go of your fear that is keeping you stuck and struggling in your business.

Every year, I plan a bold and beautiful vision for my business that helps me go to the next level of not only money, but how I am serving others and giving back. This is not wishful dreaming; this is creating what I call luxurious which allows me the freedom to do the things that give me comfort and have fun. I have learned some things along the way that are a must have in your money blueprint for your business. If you want to go down the same path as the year before that is not where you want to be, then you have to start doing thinking and doing things differently. This will take you out of your comfort zone but trust me, it will pay off in the end.
First, what is a money blueprint?
A money blueprint is a map of where you are and where you want to go.
I teach this to all of my clients.
I want to share with you some key elements to help you create your own
money blueprint to attract more clients and sales, so here are a few things that work
and doesn’t work in a money attraction blueprint.
What works: setting bold, beautiful goals that make your heart sing!
Think about what really excites you and the possibilities. Don’t let anyone take you away from your vision.
What doesn’t work: playing small and staying within your comfort zone. I truly believe we are meant to grow, and sometimes that can involve taking risks is a must to becoming a truly empowered woman entrepreneur. I know I have been there before, and I still feel uncomfortable as I continually stretch myself.
What works: creating a blueprint that is SPECIFIC and CLEAR. The more detailed you are about what you want, the EASIER it becomes to attract it.
What doesn’t work: not knowing what you want or being too general. If you constantly send out the message of telling yourself “I don’t know what I want,” then you can bet that you attract the same kind of energy which is confusion, or no new clients or sales. Also, by generalizing what you want (example: I want to be rich), you may find yourself $1 richer, but really, is this what you want?
What works: enrolling in a program or some mentoring. My business took off once I took a leap of faith and did this. If you want to be successful and you don’t want to make the same amount of money that you did last year, then you need to do this. The investment will pay off once you let go of your fears and affirm that this is exactly what you need to go to the next level. If I were to start all over again, my biggest advice would be find a mentor and stop trying to figure this out on your own, as it will cost you more money and time in the long run! The most successful people I know invest in themselves on an ongoing basis.
What doesn’t work: telling yourself that mentoring doesn’t work or any kind of program that doesn’t teach a skill or helps you shift your beliefs. This is limited thinking.
Also, telling yourself that you don’t have the money to invest in these programs. When you focus on not having the money, then you will experience just that. I encourage you to explore the possibilities that you do have it, and then watch what happens!
What does works: give yourself a timeline for the amount of money you want to make, and then create an action plan. I love timelines (instead of deadlines). You need to take consistent action to create magnetic money blueprint, otherwise you won’t see a return on your energy. So get moving and plan each action step out!
What doesn’t work: being scared to set deadlines, or being so rigid that if it doesn’t happen on that date, then you think it won’t work. Not taking action will not get you to your bold and beautiful goal for 2011 in your business.
What does work: most important, believe that you can, push through the obstacles (because they will be there), and get excited to EMBRACE the New Energy of the New Year!
